James Blunt makes the ladies swoon with thoughtful lyrics and a romantic tone that he has coated with just the right amount of falsetto. In this acoustic cover of You’re Beautiful, Rob Yates delivers that emotion well in what looks to be his home studio? There’s a few hiccups on the guitar, but it seems that Rob was concentrating on the vocals. Well done on a tough song to cover!
